Here’s Seth second email, with my response at the bottom. Don’t attempt to read this without going through the first email exchange. Here, Seth further details his confusion, and somehow highlights his strong preference for women, and then again saying, “ang gulo talaga.” Towards the end of his letter he reveals an event in his childhood, and asks if it may be the cause of his confusion. Read on, and feel free to share your thoughts, dear MGG readers!
Hello Migs,
thank you so much for replying..
salamat ng marami sa advice…
and yes… i will be strong..
i still have two small mouth to feed..
opo.. i’m grateful sa kaibigan kong ito…
he’s always been there to answer my questions…
kahit medyo malabao mga sagot nya…
at wala din cya’ng idea how to describe me…
it feels good na meron ka nakakausap about it…
kaya laki pasasalamat ko rin po that i found another one to talk too…
actually… my barkada knows about this.. pero hindi lahat ng detail..
all they know is that i’ve done it with other guys..
i thought things would change pag nalaman nila.. pero instead..
they treated me more of like thier alpha male..
i somehow stand out as the leader of the pack kasi…
tingin ko nga iba sa kanila takot sakin na i might do something to them… haha.. pero ok nman cla… bilib ako sa respeto nila sakin…
you said na there’s different types of gay.. sabi nyo rin po na you think i am…
anong type ako ng gay kung ganon?
sabi nyo rin po ang sagot ko mas importante…
ewan ko pero i think im not… kasi i never fall for guys..
no offense pero i feel disgusted nga sometimes just thinking of it….
pero sabi ng gay friend ko maybe its just me trying to deny it…
sabi ko sa kanya … i don’t think so.. pero sometimes it really is confusing..
pano kung totoo.. pero parang hindi nman… haaay.. gulo talaga isip ko…
my friend tested me a lot of times… like sending me gay porn…
and honestly… wala po epekto sakin.. that’s why pati friend ko gulong gulo na din…enjoy ko pa FHM collections ko… ang gulo talaga..
i would like to share this experience i have when i was small…
wala pa po akong ibang sinasabihan nito…. hope you can keep this between us..
i’m just desperately lookin’ for an answer…. ![]()
(Note from Migs: Seth has given permission to publish this series of emails)
i was somehow abused when i was small.. di ko maalala kung ilang taon ako non…i think i was grade 1 or 2… it was my uncle…na ngaun nasa rehab na… he would kiss me vigorously.. then make me touch him… that happened a couple of times…
think this affected me psychologically…?
i know you don’t have all the answers… pero would love to hear what you think…
thank you ulit…..
was finally able to tell someone about that very bad experience….
feels really good.. feels light on the chest….
And here is my response:
Hi Seth,
Alam mo, that thing with your uncle? That happened to me too. And you know what else? Several other gay friends of mine had similar experiences too. Something in common among us (but I would say not to all gays.)
Masaya ako that you feel lighter after opening up. That’s great!
Regarding your being gay or not — alam mo, if you really think you are straight, that is no problem at all. Don’t worry about what I or others think… if you really prefer women, then that’s it. You actually do not need to label yourself.
Bottomline is, if you are not hurting anyone, then you’re OK.
Migs
